Welcome to my FAQ for Finding Nemo (Finding Nemo). Since this game is broken
down into levels, the walkthrough will be broken up by each level. In
addition, these levels will be further broken down to ensure that one can get
all of the Gold Starfish for said level. Also, this FAQ is broken up into
parts. First you will be given an explanation of choices you have for playing
the game. Next, you will be given all the possible commands you can give with
a brief description of what those commands are. The last part is dedicated to
strategy. This strategy will give you an idea on how to fulfill the
requirements for getting the various items or doing the various tasks required
to complete each area. Input is appreciated along with constructive criticism.
If you wish to e-mail me thoughts on this FAQ, better ways of doing things,
other strategies, etc., feel free. Make sure you put Finding Nemo in the
subject. If you don't, I'm liable to discard the e-mail as spam.

| 5. OVERVIEW |===============================================================
+==============+
Finding Nemo was Disney's run away hit for 2003 grossing almost 900 million
dollars and making it the all time animated film leader worldwide. The basic
premise of Finding Nemo involves a couple of Clownfish named Marlin and Nemo.
Marlin is a very protective parent and Nemo wants to prove that Marlin's fears
are unjustified. Unfortunately, Nemo is captured by a diver and Marlin starts
a major journey to find Nemo. Along the way, Marlin encounters many wonders
and navigates many dangers in the ocean to find his son. Meanwhile, Nemo has
been placed into a fish tank with other fish. The "Tank Gang" is constantly
plotting on how to escape their imprisonment. All eventually goes right as
Marlin finally finds Nemo and the Tank Gang finally make their big break. It
will be your job to duplicate these feats in order to ensure that Marlin and
Nemo are once again reunited with each other.

+==================+
| 6. THE MISSIONS |===========================================================
+==================+
Finding Nemo will require you to go through eighteen levels. Within each of
these levels, you will be required to perform certain taskings in order to
advance to the next level. Your reward for completing these taskings will be a
Gold Starfish. Intersped with the player's interaction are actual clips from
the movie to give one the overall sense of what is going on. Winning all the
Gold Starfish yields the final Gold Starfish of the game. Good luck in
rescuing Nemo.

+========================+
| 9. GENERAL STRATEGIES |=====================================================
+========================+
Finding Nemo is a relatively fast paced game. You must be able to think
quickly and react quickly to changing situations. These general strategies
hopefully will help you get through the levels so that you don't have to deal
with a lot of frustration. These specific strategies are not all-encompassing
and there are many other things others have done. I have found, however, that
these worked for me since I shared in the frustration.
Some general strategies are:
- Get used to the controls. Sometimes the game doesn't react quickly to quick
movements done with the controls so you need to anticipate when something is
going to happen and take it from there. In addition, you may have to use
the action button while moving so you will need to know when that split-
second decision will be occurring.
- Make sure you save your games often. You don't want to do anything stupid
then realize that you hadn't saved your game for a while. The same holds
true for an unforeseen disaster such as losing power.
- The levels are laid out in a relatively linear format. Don't think you have
to accomplish all the objectives in the pass. On the levels that you can
earn multiple Gold Starfish, concentrate on getting one or two at a time.
For example, maybe you can try to get all the bubble rings and do the three-
colored stone game on one pass.
- To earn Gold Starfish stars in a level, first you must determine what tasks
have to be completed. Below are the tasks for earning a gold star. Keep in
mind that you may not have to do every one of these tasks in a level. The
only task that is required in each level is going through the pre-requisite
number of bubble rings:
- Bubble Rings: To acquire these greenish-blue rings, you must either swim
in the middle of them or contact said ring on the side in order to be
credited with getting it. Either way, Bubble Rings will give you a quick
burst of speed. Remember this when you are trying to take care of Bubble
Rings that are close together.
- Stone Game: You will have to take three different colored stones (red,
blue, and green) and place them upon their corresponding color pillars
within the level or a section of the level. Keep in mind that the
pillars and stones may be widely separated or partially hidden.
- Hero: You have to trap all enemies, within a level, in a bubble. Then
you must pop that bubble to receive credit for taking care of that enemy.
There are only two enemies you can "bubble". They are the clam and
hermit crab.
- Object Bounce: Sometimes you will have to bounce onto objects such as
sponges, jellyfish, mines, etc. You will be required to bounce on every
object at least once to collect the Gold Starfish.
- Race: Self-explanatory. You must race and win in order to get the Gold
Starfish. During a race, you can see your position at the bottom of the
screen.
- Once you earn at least one Gold Starfish in a level, you are then eligible
for the bonus level. Always make this your goal on your quest to collect
all the Gold Starfish. There are five different types of things you can do
to collect the Gold Starfish in the bonus level. These things are:
- Luxo Ball: Send the ball through the blue rings to score. As with the
Bubble Rings, you can also get credit for just having the ball contact
the side of the ring. Learn how to control the ball instead of just
bouncing it off your character. The best way to control the ball is to
learn how to balance the ball on your nose.
- Match Game: A simple game of matching up similar tiles.
- Matching/Simon: A school of fish will form a shape/shapes in the middle
of the screen. Surrounding them are eight characters from the game. It
is up to you to figure out what character the fish are trying to make.
It starts with one and usually ends with memorizing eight characters in a
row. It is best to use a pen/pencil and paper to keep up with the
sequences.
- Slide Puzzle: A standard slide puzzle that either comes in a 3x3 or 4x4
grid. Either way, first determine what the picture looks like. After
that, the best way to solve these puzzles is to work from left to right,
top to bottom.
- Nemo, Marlin, and Dory: This involves using these three characters in
tandem to solve the puzzles on the level. Keep in mind their strengths.
Dory is strong and can take care of the heavy items. Marlin can take
care of opening latches that Dory can't open. Nemo is small and can fit
in the tight spaces to do the clean-up work.
- For the above (levels and bonus levels), there is no time limit. This means
you can take your time unless the specific level itself has a time limit.
Overall, just be patient and don't worry about when the game does a count-
down. That relates more to beating an old time record.
+=======================================================+
| 10. SPECIFIC STRATEGIES FOR CAMPAIGNS AND CHALLENGES |======================
+=======================================================+
These strategies cover the 18 levels in the game. It is not necessary to
collect all the Gold Starfish to get through a level. You only need to collect
all the Gold Starfish to reach the final bonus level. This means you will have
to collect 60 Gold Starfish.
When you complete the level, it will end regardless of whether you have gotten
any Gold Starfish. This doesn't mean, though, that you cannot go back through
the level again to collect Gold Starfish.
I have divided the levels up into parts. These parts are defined as areas
where the character you are controlling goes to another area of the same level.
This also means you cannot backtrack to the previous area without starting the
level over again. I will indicate what can be obtained in these different
areas.
The levels will be set up like this:
_______________________
/ Level #: Level Name /
-----------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish:
Overview of level
+--------+
| Part # |
+--------+
Strategies for specific part.
Tasks or parts of tasks that can be completed.
In regard to Bubble Rings, I will indicate the maximum amount of Bubble Rings
and enemies you can collect from the specific part of the level. I will also
show a running count to make it easier to ensure you have collected all the
Bubble Rings or taken care of all the enemies up to that part.
_____________________________________
/ 10. 1 Level 1: Going to School /_________________________________________
-------------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 42 Bubble Rings
2. Stone Game
3. Win the race
4. Bonus: Put Luxo Ball through six rings
This is an introductory level. There aren't many dangers in this level and it
is pretty straightforward.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- This is basically training. Get to learn the controls in this area.
3 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Marlin will take Nemo on a cruise around some of the rock formations. Here
you will learn to navigate through multiple Bubble Rings.
10 Bubble Rings collected. 13 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- You will meet up with the rest of the school gang. Apparently Pearl has
decided to explore some caves and she has gotten lost. It will be up to
Nemo to go into the caves and lead Pearl out again.
15 Bubble Rings collected. 28 Total
Stone Game completed.
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- You now get to learn about how to take care of enemies with a water bubble.
Just hit the bubble into the enemy and then pop it to get credit. You will
also have to race against the school gang on this part.
14 Bubble Rings collected. 42 Total
Race completed.
________________________________
/ 10. 2 Level 2: Field Trip /______________________________________________
--------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 70 Bubble Rings
2. Kill 10 Enemies
3. Stone Game
4. Bounce on 35 sponges
5. Bonus: Bounce on 100 sponges while avoiding the
jellyfish
A lot of this level involves keeping up with Mr. Ray. You also have the extra
task of bouncing on sponges.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- This is basically some more training. You will also learn the other way to
"bubble" an enemy. Some bubbles appear in a row of five small bubbles. By
hitting these bubbles in order (from left to right or vice-versa), you can
bubble an enemy. Bubble Rings will be both high and low in this part.
11 Bubble Rings collected.
7 Enemies eliminated.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Just keep up with Mr. Ray while at the same time you collect the Bubble
Rings. Remember, the Bubble Rings will give you a brief burst of speed.
17 Bubble Rings collected. 28 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- You will arrive at an area with some sponges in the ocean floor. Your goal
is to bounce on all of the sponges and also collect any Bubble Rings that
are over some of the sponges.
7 Bubble Rings collected. 35 Total
35 Sponges bounced on.
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- Again, you will be following Mr. Ray. Collect the Bubble Rings along the
way. This time, you may have to make some tighter moves plus the enemies
will cause some problems so you will have to maneuver out of their way
accordingly.
20 Bubble Rings collected. 55 Total
+--------+
| Part 5 |
+--------+
- Nemo and the rest of the school gang can explore the caves. Just use the
SQUARE button to enter the caves. They aren't that hard to get around but
watch out for the hermit crab on the other side of the last cave. Also,
make sure you go down the holes to collect the Bubble Rings and Stones for
the Stone Game.
6 Bubble Rings collected. 61 Total
3 Enemies eliminated. 10 Total
Stone Game completed.
+--------+
| Part 6 |
+--------+
- This time, you need to make sure you follow Mr. Ray. If you miss any of
the Bubble Rings or the rings he makes, you will fall behind. When you get
the red exclamation point, it means you are really far behind and one more
missed ring means you start this part over again. Learn how to get these
rings because you will be doing a lot of following in this game.
14 Bubble Rings collected. 75 Total
__________________________________
/ 10. 3 Level 3: The Drop Off /____________________________________________
----------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 55 Bubble Rings
2. Kill 3 enemies
3. Stone Game
4. Bonus: 3x3 Slide puzzle
Now you can put all the skills in the first two levels to work. Some areas
will require some quick reactions and tight turns.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- This area leads to the drop off. All you have to basically do is to collect
the Bubble Rings and take on the enemies. Nothing new to do. Make sure,
though, to avoid the steam vents as they are very bad for Nemo's health.
15 Bubble Rings collected.
3 Enemies eliminated.
Stone Game completed.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Nemo decides he will defy his dad and swim out to the "butt". This means
Nemo will be following the chain. Of course, he will need to dodge the
puffer fish and electric eels. In addition to worrying about other
creatures, Nemo will also have to fight the current as he goes along the
chain.
16 Bubble Rings collected. 31 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- Well, Nemo touched the "butt". Of course, he now realizes the error of his
ways and starts to head back to the drop off. Unfortunately, he is now
being pursued by a diver who wishes to add Nemo to his collection of fish.
Fast running and precision moves will net you the Bubble Rings.
24 Bubble Rings collected. 55 Total
________________________________
/ 10. 4 Level 4: Mask Chase /______________________________________________
--------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 85 Bubble Rings
2. Kill 22 enemies
3. Stone Game
4. Bonus: Match Game
It seems that a clue was left behind after Nemo's abduction. The diver dropped
his mask and it is sinking quickly into the depths of the ocean. Marlin,
Nemo's father, realizes he must quickly follow it or lose Nemo forever. All
parts, except the fifth part, are timed events.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- You have 90 seconds to get to the next part. On your way, there will be
many enemies in your path. Make sure you either avoid or bubble them.
9 Bubble Rings collected.
6 Enemies eliminated.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1 except you have 65 seconds to get to the next part.
11 Bubble Rings collected. 20 Total
5 Enemies eliminated. 11 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1 except you have 75 seconds to get to the next part.
18 Bubble Rings collected. 38 Total
7 Enemies eliminated. 18 Total
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1 except you have to deal with the eels. Also, corridors twist
around more. You have 80 seconds to get to the next part.
20 Bubble Rings collected. 58 Total
4 Enemies eliminated. 22 Total
Stone Game completed.
+--------+
| Part 5 |
+--------+
- You have made it to the bottom of the ocean. You now will have to dodge the
schools of fish that are coming from behind. Just keep low and you should
be alright.
27 Bubble Rings collected. 85 Total
________________________________
/ 10. 5 Level 5: Catch Dory /______________________________________________
--------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 28 Bubble Rings
2. Bonus: 4x4 Slide Puzzle
In this level you will be chasing Dory around. Make sure you get all the rings
she leaves behind or you won't be able to keep up with her. Watch the
exclamation point colors. When it goes from yellow to red, you can't afford to
miss any more rings.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- You will chase Dory around until you catch up to her. If you miss a Bubble
Ring, don't fret since you will be back over the same area again.
8 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1.
10 Bubble Rings collected. 18 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1 except you will have to use the ACTION button to open up the
doors of the various sea crates to keep up with Dory.
10 Bubble Rings collected. 28 Total
_______________________________
/ 10. 6 Level 6: Minefield /_______________________________________________
-------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 36 Bubble Rings
2. Bounce on 81 mines
4. Bonus: Put Luxo Ball through 16 rings while
navigating through a minefield
Things get a little harder in this level. In addition to some new enemies, you
will also have to contend with the mines and strong currents in this part of
the ocean.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- You will be following Bruce through some undersea caves. This means you
will have to deal with octopus tentacles, octopus ink, and other nasty
hazards.
- In addition to the above, you will need to keep up with Bruce so make sure
you continue to collect the Bubble and Speed Rings he puts behind him.
Bruce is very fast and you can't afford to miss too many. This applies to
the other parts as well.
13 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Keeping up with Bruce is only part of the problem. The other problem you
will face in this part is navigating around the mines while attempting to
keep up with Bruce. To make this part more challenging, the ocean current
is constantly changing which makes swimming difficult.
3 Bubble Rings collected. 16 Total
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- You get a "breather" in this part. No rings to collect but you have to
bounce on 81 mines to collect the Gold Starfish. You can only bounce on
the mines three times before they explode. They turn a dull red on the
first bounce, a bright red on the second bounce, and a bright red-orange on
the third bounce.
- This area can be tricky so I've included the layout of the mines and an
explanation of the best way through them:
*
*
* * * * *
* *
* * * * *
* * * * * * * * * #4
* *
* * * * * * *
#3 * * *
* * * #2 * * *
* * * * *
* * *
* * * * *
* * * * * * * #1
* * * *
* * * * * *
* * * * * *
* * *
*
START
- From the START point, head to #1 to clear out those mines. Backtrack to the
left and follow the path around.
- At #2, go left and clear the mines at #3. Backtrack to #2 and follow the
path around.
- Turn up and clear out the mines at #4 then backtrack. Follow the path
around and clear the rest of the mines. If you kept good control, none of
the mines should have been jumped on more then twice.
81 mines bounced on.
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- Just like Part 2.
4 Bubble Rings collected. 20 Total
+--------+
| Part 5 |
+--------+
- Just like Part 1 but Bruce moves a little faster and the enemies are a
little more aggressive.
16 Bubble Rings collected. 36 Total
_______________________________
/ 10. 7 Level 7: Submarine /_______________________________________________
-------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 129 Bubble Rings
2. Kill 17 enemies
3. Stone Game
4. Bonus: Beat Dory in a race. Use the fire rings
for maximum speed.
Seems that Bruce has regressed from his belief that fish are friends after
catching a whiff of Dory's blood. Now Bruce has reverted back to the predator
he started out as. Marlin and Dory will be navigating narrow passages to
escape Bruce's hunger.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- Bruce is in hot pursuit of Marlin and Dory. The only way to avoid his
steel-trap jaws is to out-maneuver him. Of course, knowing when to maneuver
would be a good thing.
- Look above Dory's head. When a red exclamation mark appears, that means
Bruce is ready to lunge. This usually occurs after collecting some Bubble
Rings. When this happens, the best tactic is to go straight up or down and
immediately go the opposite direction. Just watch the winding corridors and
any debris that might be in the way.
24 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- This part gives Marlin and Dory a breather from Bruce, but more dangers
await. In addition to enemies you have to kill, you will also have to deal
with the eels, fish, and flames shooting from the pipes. Also, these mines
are "hot" and one touch means KA-BOOM!
- In order to exit this compartment, you have to punch the green switch on a
pipe. This switch is located halfway in the upper part of the compartment.
You will need to navigate through some broken pipes to get to it.
15 Bubble Rings collected. 39 Total
2 Enemies eliminated.

| Part 3 |
+--------+
- Just like Part 1.
18 Bubble Rings collected. 57 Total
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- This part of the submarine has two compartments. You can freely swim be-
tween the compartments and the dangers are the same as in Part 2. To
escape, you will need to do two things:
- First, about a third of the way through the second compartment, near the
top, you will see a green ball with an arrow on it. Hit the ball in the
direction of the arrow to open up a hatch at the other end of the second
compartment.
- Go down through the hatch and at the bottom is the switch to open the
door.
54 Bubble Rings collected. 111 Total

- The final compartment of the submarine. You will encounter a 3x3 slide
puzzle. The object is to get the hole in the center while getting the pipes
to connect the left and right sides. Look to the left, near the door, and
there is a diagram of what this is supposed to look like.
- Once you have completed the puzzle, hit the switch and exit the submarine.

allow Dory through.
+--------+
| Part 1 |

It seems that Marlin and Dory have company. Unfortunately, this company would
rather eat then meet them. While Dory is ready the strap on the mask, Marlin
must keep the Anglerfish amused. For each part, Marlin will be chased by the
Anglerfish three times. This should give you more then enough opportunity to
collect the Bubble Rings.

Welcome back to the tank. Nemo is about ready to be initiated by the "tank
gang". First, though, Nemo must complete a series of taskings in order to make
it to the top of the volcano.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- Nemo is tasked with filling in the holes in the bottom of the tank. This
is pretty straightforward. Just push the red pebbles into the holes.
- Nemo now needs to open the way to the other side of the tank. First, he
must get through two columns of fire.
- To get through the first column, he must blow into the statues in a specific
order. The key to success is the sign with an arrow on it. Use ACTION to
spin it around and it gives a diagram on what order to blow into the statues.
- The order is: Right Statue, Left Statue, Center Statue, Right Statue,
Left Statue.
- Once that is completed, Nemo will get to the diver. He must hit the ratchet
in front of him to drop the diver down. Continue to hit the ratchet or the
diver will slowly rise again. Be careful of the flame column.
- Once the diver is blocking the flame column, Nemo can proceed.
24 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Nemo makes it to the other side of the tank. He must navigate through the
volcano to get to the other side.
- At the end of the path is a 3x3 slide puzzle. Just connect the pipes so
that they make a solid connect from the left to the right side. Once
completed, Nemo will be at the top of the volcano.
- At the top of the volcano, Nemo must navigate through 30 fire rings. They
come in sets of three and the best way is to swoop in from left to right and
right to left.

/ 10.12 Level 12: Jellyfish Race /__________________________________________
------------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 60 Bubble Rings
2. Bounce on 128 jellyfish
3. Bonus: Put Luxo Ball through 80 rings
Well, Marlin and Dory escaped the Anglerfish and are on their way to Sydney.
Unfortunately, they end up in a jellyfish field. The only way through is to
bounce through.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- This is probably one of the rougher areas of the game. This part requires
some precision hitting of the ACTION button when you get to a jellyfish.
Press ACTION too soon or too late and you won't get to bounce off the jelly-
fish.
- Learn to get a rhythm going with the ACTION button and you won't have to
even touch the direction pad or joystick since you will automatically bounce
to the next jellyfish. You will also automatically go through all the
Bubble Rings and other objects. You must win this race to advance to the
next part.
16 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Dory must bounce on all the jellyfish. To make this task harder, there are
jellyfish randomly scattered about. Once touch from them sends her back to
the beginning again. There is no real pattern since the jellyfish basically
make a path. Just remember to keep your momentum going.
27 Bubble Rings collected. 43 Total
128 jellyfish bounced on.

- This is the same as Part 1 except you must beat Dory to make it out of this
level.

/ 10.13 Level 13: Training with Gill /______________________________________
----------------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 10 Bubble Rings
2. Bonus: Bounce on 26 snails
This is a training area for Nemo. To ensure that Nemo is up to the task of
helping out the "tank gang", Gill has devised a series of training events to
help Nemo accomplish the taskings that will be put before him.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- You must keep a close tail on Gill. Just use his rings to keep up and you
should have no trouble. This is from an overhead perspective.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- Seems that Jacques has a snail problem. Nemo volunteers to assist. The
goal is to get the 26 snails flattened down before they rise again. It is
best to work bottom to top, right to left to accomplish this.
+--------+
| Part 3 |
+--------+
- Same as Part 1 except Gill moves a little quicker and makes sharper turns.
+--------+
| Part 4 |
+--------+
- Nemo sees a Luxo ball and asks Gill about it. Gill tells him that the
dentist put it in the tank to allow the fish to play. Nemo decides he
wants to try it out.
- You can retrieve the ball from the left side of the skull. Basically, it is
like the other Luxo ball games except you must deal with the sharp grass and
Bloat. If the ball contacts either one of these, it will bust and you must
go back to the skull to retrieve it again.
- Just be patient and use the bubbles to assist you. Also, it is best to do
short bounces off your nose. You must put the Luxo Ball through 30 rings to
exit this part.
10 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 5 |
+--------+
- Same as Parts 1 and 2 except now you will have things obstructing your over-
head view.

4. Bonus: Matching/Simon
Marlin and Dory have made it through the jellyfish. Of course, they got a
little help from Crush, the sea turtle. They are now in the EAC and on their
way to find Nemo in Sydney.
+--------+
| Part 1 |
+--------+
- Dory is playing a game of hide and seek with the baby turtles. You will
have 20 seconds to catch up to Dory. This occurs three separate times.
Just watch the current and navigate around the turtles to catch her.
33 Bubble Rings collected.
+--------+
| Part 2 |
+--------+
- The baby turtles are hiding under the adult turtles. As Dory, you will have
to "herd" the five babies to the front of the group. To do this, you must
turn all the turtles over and don't let a baby turtle go back into hiding.
Once done correctly, another turtle comes up from behind to allow you to
exit this part.
28 turtles bounced on.

- You will be in a race with Dory and five turtles. Use the Bubble and Speed
Rings for an easy victory.

/ 10.15 Level 15: The Plan /________________________________________________
------------------------------
Tasks for Gold Starfish: 1. Collect 25 Bubble Rings
2. Put Luxo Ball through 20 rings
4. Bonus: Beat "tank gang" in a race
The plan, as told to Nemo, is as follows:
Nemo will collect five red pebbles and place them into the water filtration
unit. This in turn will jam the paddles so the unit no longer filters the
water. The tank will get dirty and the dentist will have to remove the fish to
clean the tank. While the fish are in their little bags, they will make a
break for it through the open window.
To accomplish the first part of the plan, Nemo must get the five red pebbles
that are dispersed in the tank. The pebble locations are:
- One in the skull.
- One in the volcano. You will have to use the various intake ports to guide
the pebble to the top of the volcano. Then retrieve it there.
- In the first large clam on the right. Time it so the clam doesn't close on
